• Strategic Plan: Vision 2026

Looking ahead, the District will hold a virtual Strategic Planning Session this Wednesday evening, and we are also inviting families to participate in an important opportunity to share their input, through a community survey.

As we plan for the next six years, we are asking families to help shape our future by reviewing our current strategic plan and completing a brief survey:

• January 28, 2026

• 6:30–8:00 PM

• Virtual Session (Registration Link)

Please review the current plan here: Vision 2026: Educate, Inspire, and Challenge

The Northborough, Southborough, and Northborough-Southborough Regional School Committees have charged the Superintendent to form an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Study Group for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school years. If you are interested in serving on the study group, please complete the questions below by Friday, February 13, 2026.

The group will explore how AI impacts teaching and learning, equity and access, data privacy, and appropriate use of AI in schools. The Study Group will serve in an advisory role only and will present recommendations to the Superintendent of Schools.

The District has seen an increase in confirmed flu and influenza-like illnesses over the past week. Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs. 

We recommend closely monitoring for symptoms. Symptoms usually appear 2-3 days after exposure. If symptomatic, please stay home and contact the school nurse. Flu signs and symptoms typically develop suddenly. If you have concerns about symptoms or underlying chronic health conditions, please contact your healthcare provider immediately. 

People who are sick with the flu often feel some or all of these symptoms:

• Fever*/feeling feverish or chills

• Cough

• Sore throat

• Runny or stuffy nose

• Muscle or body aches

• Headaches

• Fatigue (tiredness)
  

• Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults.

**It’s important to note that not everyone with the flu will have a fever.

Please continue to inform the school nurse of any flu diagnosis (or any other respiratory illness), and please follow our District Illness Guidelines for return-to-school criteria. 

After having the flu or an influenza-like illness, to return to school, both the following must be true: the fever must be free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication, and the individual must have the stamina to participate in an entire school day. 

Please continue to promote good hygiene and healthy habits.

• Good hygiene: Encourage regular hand washing, cough/sneeze into your elbow, and avoid touching your face/mouth, especially during cold and flu season, to reduce the spread of germs.

• Healthy habits: Ensure you get enough rest, eat a balanced diet, and stay hydrated to strengthen your immune system.
